Navigating the open waters is an exhilarating experience, offering unparalleled freedom and adventure. However, one of the greatest hazards boaters face is the threat of lightning strikes, which can cause significant damage to vessels and pose serious risks to passengers and crew. To address this critical concern, CMCE Lightning Suppression was developed to ensure that boating adventures remain safe and worry-free. 


Unmatched Lightning Protection 


The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is not just a lightning protection system; it is a revolutionary advancement in maritime safety. Unlike traditional lightning protection systems that merely aim to manage the aftermath of a strike, the CMCE takes a proactive approach by eliminating lightning formation altogether. By creating a lightning-free protective shield around the boat, effectively prevents lightning from striking from striking, ensuring utmost safety for both vessels and occupants.


Seamless Integration with Modern Communication Systems 


Maintaining reliable communication at sea is vital. One of the standout features of the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is its non-interference with telecommunication systems. Many traditional lightning protection systems can cause disruptions or interference with electronic and communication devices, which can be problematic for modern mariners who rely heavily on these systems for navigation, communication, and safety. The CMCE is meticulously designed to function without affecting the performance of onboard telecommunication systems, ensuring that you stay connected and informed.


Confidence on the Water 


Sailing should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience, free from the constant worry of potential hazards. With the CMCE Lightning Suppressor, you can navigate the waters with confidence, knowing that you are protected by the most effective lighting protection system on the market. This peace of mind allows you to focus on what truly matters – enjoying your time on the water and creating unforgettable memories.


Protection for Boats of All Sizes 


The CMCE offers three distinct Lightning Suppressor models to ensure comprehensive protection regardless of the vessel size: 

  • CMCE-Gold: Designed for smaller boats, the CMCE-Gold model protects a 20,000-square-foot radius (82 feet). Perfect for small boats, catamarans, and yachts, ensuring they remain lightning-free. 
  • CMCE-Platinum: For medium-sized vessels, the CMCE-Platinum model offers a 100,000-square-foot radius of protection. This model is ideal for medium-size yachts, catamarans, and fishing or expedition boats, providing extensive coverage and security. 
  • CMCE-Diamond: The CMCE-Diamond model caters to the largest vessels, protecting up to 500,000 square feet. This model is suited for superyachts and large commercial and military ships, ensuring extensive maritime operations remain safe from lightning.
